THE WATER RESPONSIBLE.
Some time ago a mysterious epidemic
■^Pjh' ' i^itag---* 1 -- "X- ' -Via *■■■ 'Jar smatm- ~"«s_a
broke out at North Adams, Massachusetts,
and for several weeks everybody was won
dering what it could be caused by. The
pious were a good deal disposed to hold
that it was some sort of a judgment. The
Kearneyites thought it was the natural re
tribution for employing Chinese in the shoe
shops. But after all it turns out that the
water of the town is responsible for the
sickness, and tint no supernatural causes
were concerned in it. An engineer made a
map of the town, and having carefully as
certained the direction of the epidemic,
found that it followed the lines of the
water pipes with a regularity far too steady
to be ascribed to accident. He then traced
the course of the water up to an old mill
dam, which proved to be full of impurities,
yet which nobody had ever suspected.
Doubtless North Adams is not the first
town that has been poisoned by bad water,
or that has attributed the evil to every
thing but the right cause.
A CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
We have not seen any attempt on the
part of the Democratic press to avail itself
of the interesting statistics concerning the
defalcations and losses occurring in the na
tional revenues since the foundation of the
republic, which we printed recently.
Yet there is quite a fun 1 of valuable sug
gestions in these tables, and they would
furnish topics for many able articles. How,
for instance, docs it happen that General
Grant's administration thews a far smaller
percentage of stealings and losses than any
Democratic Administration exhibits? How
__> it that there was so much stealing done
in the time of Andrew Jackson ? How is
it that the Republican party, said to bo so
corrupt by its enemies, cannot be shown to
be corrupt when facts are appealed to?
We are really surprised that our Demo
cratic friends do not take up any of these
considerations and discus.-! them.
SPAIN PREVARICATING.
The Spanish Government appears to
liave acted in a rather tricky way regard
in-,' the firing upon American fruiters. At
: first it was emphatically denied that there
was any such Spanish war vessel as the
Nuncio. When it . appeared that this
excuse would not do, it was alleged that
, the fruiters had been within the maritime
league of the coast over which Spain exer
cises jurisdiction. It having been shown
that the vessels were much more than a
league from laud, it is claimed that the
jurisdiction of Spain extends over two
leagues instead of one. This of course
raises a point of international law, during
the consideration of which tho original
cause of the dispute is very apt to be lost
sight of; and this perhaps is what the
, Spanish Government desires.
TOO MUCH SILVER.
The preposterous coinage of silver still
■goes on month after month. .The people
refuse to take the metal, and it cannot bo
kept in circulation. The .Government
' vaults are ; overflowing j with the silver
; money, and . already there is a fresh cry
"'for : more - space. But two millions a
'mouth continue to bo added to the hoard,
land Congress has adjourned without . at
tempting to adjust the matter, both par
ties being apparently afraid to propose the
■repeal of a law which has ; been j shown to
be one of the most conspicuous failures on
record. -The' truth ■ is '- that • nobody wants
" silver in" quantities; and that '_ this coinage
X is a positive and f serious waste, having .no
• compensation.
NATIONAL ISSUES.
'-'-'-. The - most dangerous ' yet the strongest
tendency in Presidential campaigns is that
which leads men to concentrate their atten
tion "i upon frivolous personalities, .and to
• neglect those high questions of national
politics which are - alone important. 'J It is
to be hoped '. that . this ; danger will be
avoided in ' the - present contest,' for. ; as
suredly .: there are . enough \ profound and
weighty considerations involved to engage
the most serious thought of ". the ! people.
The known personal character of both the
candidates is such as to render detraction
a mere exhibition of malevolence and base
■ ness. The questions upon '. which . voters
decide to act should be those which con
cern the future of ■ the Republic. In this
campaign the D Aocratic party stands for
ward as the representative and champion
of the doctrine of State . rights. It has
been often declared that ; this doctrine was
obsolete, but so far is this from being the
case ■ that if f the "'- next Administration is
Democratic the . country must pre
pare for the rehabilitation of the theory,
with all that such a rehabilitation
implies and involves. , It would be folly to
suppose that the Southern States, after
having already succeeded in turning negro
emancipation to their own advantage and
to the injury of their opponents, after hav
ing secured the political solidarity of their
section by systematic suppression of the
suffrage, would be willing to call a halt.
The Southern leaders believe that "much
" has been done, but more remains to do."
They look forward from the vantage ground
which Kukluxism _ has : gained them, \to
the full restoration of the 'power they held
before the rebellion. ij They fix their gaze
upon a point in the near future when they
expect to be able to undo all the legisla
tion growing out of the rebellion, when
they expect to be able to abrogate
all the constitutional amendments, . when
they expect to be able- to enforce the
payment of the Confederate debt and the
claims of the ; rebel property owners, and
when they will have won more by com.
bincd fraud and force than ever they lost on
the battle-field. Nor need the declaration
that they contemplate the abrogation of
the constitutional amendments be regarded
as extravagant or visionary. In a recent
speech at Indianapolis, Mr. Porter, the
Republican candidate for Governor of In
diana, pointed out the successive meas
ures constituting the Democratic pro
gramme, and from this outline it may be
gathered that the policy of the party is
sufficiently comprehensive. The . pro
gramme involves these changes. (1.) The
division of Texas into four States, accord
ing to the Act of annexation, thus securing
eight in place of two Southern Senators.
(2.) The admission of Utah and New
Mexico to secure four more Sen
ators. (3.) The organization of the
State of Oklahoma to secure two
more. This would give the solid South
44 Senators, or exactly half the body. , (4.)
The abolition of all the reconstruction
measures. (5.) The abrogation of all the
constitutional amendments. (G. The re
construction of the United States Supreme
Court. , On this point Mr. Porter said :
"It would be easy enough for a Court
"composed of men believing in the South
"em theory of Stateism to hold that all
" these amendments are void for viola
tion of the 'federal compact.' We
'know, from experience in our own State,
"how easily constitutional amendments
" may be overthrown to meet even the
" smallest exigencies of party. Now see
"how easily these amendments may be
"overthrown to meet the over
" whelming demands of a section. 'I lie
" way is already prepared. A bill is now
" pending, introduced by Manning of Ala
" bama, to increase the Judges of the Sa
"preme Court to twenty-one. Let that
" bill pass, and the South will demand
"that at least three-fourths of the increase
" shall be appointed from the South. The
"Cabinet, three-fourths Southern, will
"know how to select men whose senti
" ments are known beforehand on epics
" tions so vital. Upon an agreed case like
" that in our own State, the amendments
" may be declared, in the language of the
"Democratic platform, 'unconstitutional,
"'revolutionary and void.' Judges
"who should thus decide would win
" honor in the South. Their me-ni-
"ories would be canonizetl "by the
"Southern people, for they would have
"opened the hospitable door through
" which the whole flood of claims they be
"lieve just can be allowed. ". We here
have the outlines of a scheme which is
perfectly feasible in the event of a Demo
cratic success, and against the probability
of which nothing can be urged but the
suggestion that the Democrats might
shrink from proceeding to such ex
tremes. That suggestion, however, has
no force. The South has not shrunk
from putting its very existence in jeopardy.
It has faced the North in the Held,
and it is mere nonsense to assume
that it wiil be less resolute, persistent and
aggressive when the danger has dimin
ished at the same time that the value of
the prize has increased. The proposed re
construction of the Supreme Court is in
deed the key to the whole situation. ; That
gained, everything would be gained. . And
if the Democrats are ever in a position
to increase the Southern vote iv the Sen
ate, as above indicated, by making new
States, it is clear that all the rest would
follow naturally and almost inevitably.
It has been said by superficial or insin
cere writers that there .is ';'■ no •• longer
an appreciable difference between the Re
publican and Democratic parties. The
Democratic doctrine of State rights, with
all that it involves, constitutes a difference
as broad and deep as exists between oppo
site elements .anywhere in nature. '"-The'
Democracy is the Southern contest for
supremacy, and that contest brings in issue
every measure and every principle for the
maintenance of which the North poured
out its blood and treasure like Water.
THE GREENBACKERS.
' The Greenbackers have held a . State
Convention in San , Francisco, though it is
said that no other part of the State was
represented. This is the moro curious
since the Greenback programme has made
a good deal of headway in the Southern
counties, where . indeed j it ! already threat
ens to break the back of the Democracy,
whence it is mainly recruited. V The plat
form adopted - in i San Francisco .is - of .' a
i kind calculated to tickle the fancy of the
! ignorant, the indolent and the greedy. It
j is full of Communism, and the concealment
i is / merely nominal. . Its propositions ' are
drawn up with convenient vagueness, as
witness that plank of. the Chicago Green
back Convention which was adopted as a
' substitute ;. for the third resolution. It
reads as follows: ''.We dec-arc that land,
• "like air and water, is ■ the •; free gift ; of
,',' Nature to all mankind, and ■ any law or
" custom of society that allows any person
; " to monopolize more of this free gift than
' " he has a right to, to the detriment of the
" rights of -" others, wo earnestly condemn
" and seek to abolish/ 'Of course nobody
can fix a definite meaning to this farrago of
words. It declares that nobody ought to
, hold more land than ,ho '; has ia X right 's to, !
which '.7 may _be I. construed as ■ signifying
that •■;"''. nobody - ■ ought " -.. to ,_.; bold ;- land
withont p a title ; anil it might I
be thought unnecessary to _ solemnly ex
press '. an ; opinion ; so '. entirely _ consonant
with the existing ; practice and legislation.
Nobody does hold more land than he has a
right to now, for all land is held under
some "'colorable title. The Greenbackers
have not intimated ■ what constitutes . the
quantity ■of land -anyone . may : rightfully
hold, •; and no doubt '; this omission ._,' saves
them many awkward controversies, - : but it
is hardly sufficient to , justify the praises
which self-styled land reformers have lav
ished upon the silly sentence. ; The planks
in the platform which principally appeal to
the communistic . sentiment are, however,
those which propose that the Government
should turn pawnbroker, and lend money
to everybody, and that it should confiscate
the ; property of the "Haves," to furnish
outfits for the "Have Nots.!' According
to this most sane and statesmanlike resolu
tion,^ the Government is to "furnish the
" means for - indigent : families to go upon
"the public lands and build houses, to
"stock and cultivate their farms, and also
"to furnish means to laboring operatives
"to establish X co-operative __■'■ industrial
"enterprises.". This is very '" like . the
propositions which found favor'; in
the -/..eyes of the .-', populace ,in the
old Greek republics, and which led to the
social wars . which finally destroyed the
power and civilization of the Greeks, and
degraded . them to vassalage. More pesti
lent and imbecile theories it would be im
possible to conceive of, but for all that
they will find ; approval among a certain
kind . of people, who are too sluggish of
mind to realize that 'governments which
confiscate the property of one class of citi
zens for - the . benefit ;of another class, , or
which undertake to supply the place of a
parent to the whole community, must in the
very nature of the case become mere
organized machines for robbery, and must
destroy themselves by their tyranny, and
injustice. There is not and never has
been more than one way by which men can
prosper in this world, and that is by doing
their own work. Whoever leans '.. upon
others,' whoever expects the Government
to take care of him, is unworthy of free
dom and incapable of exercising the rights
and performing the duties of citizenship
intelligently. As to the financial proposi
tions of the Greenbackers, they are in
character. The demand for a national cur
rency of paper alone, based upon noth
ing, and . . to be inflated whenever
the most stupid people raised a howl that
"the volume of " the currency" needed
expansion to meet " the demands of trade,"
is as Communistic as all the rest, and the
whole platform is illustrative of that class
of minds which are incapable of learning
anything from experience, which prefer
ignorance to wisdom, which imagine that
natural laws can be suspended oi amended
to suit particular whims or fancies, and
wh'ch always^ begin by hopelessly mud
dling themselves with the delusion that
every idea advanced by educated men is
therefore to be suspected and challenged.
The Greenbackers will doubtless attract
some votes. There has been the flavor of
Communis,!!! in the Democracy, or its off
shoots, these twenty years, and there is a
kind of Democrat who has an affinity for
Greenbackisiu. We shall not object to the
weakening of the Democratic vote in this
way, but we are satisfied • that this is the
only result that will flow from the Green
back movement, either here or elsewhere.
THE DOCTORS AT FAULT.
It has been said quite often enough that
Dr. Tanner's starving experiment cannot
have any practical use. It will have at
least thi3 use, that it will expose the
fallacy of medical dogmatism on the sub
ject of abstinence. It has been asserted in
medical text-books for a long time that
sucb feats as Dr. Tanner has already
achieved are impossible. . He has now
lived twenty-four "days without food, and
during ten days of that period he was
without . water also. Another very , re
markable circumstance is that after he had
fasted for twelve or thirteen days, his
weight began to increase, and he actually
gained four pounds in two days. As it is held
by physicians and physiologists that the
body consumes its own tissues when not
supplied with food, the increase in weight
is an embarrassing fact. Indeed, Dr. Tan
ner has very obstinately controverted quite
a number of well-established theories about
what happens during the process of star
vation. His mind has continued clear, his
strength has not declined, his pulse has re
mained normal, and in fact he has under
gone nono of the physical changes which
the books declare unavoidable. If he
should live to complete his forty days' fast
■ — and there appears now to be no reason
why he should not— it will be necessary to
reconsider a number of questions which
have hitherto been regarded as closed.
This alone will be a considerable gain to
science, and would perhaps be cheaply pur
chased with the collapse of Dr. Tanner.

George Ripley's Literary Reftalns—
'•- ■" Janitorial 'J Couples— ' •■'
>.-.' New Yokk, July 15, 1880.1)
;■ A good deal :of : unfavorable : comment !
has been made here upon Samuel J. Tilden
since the death of : bis ' nephew, ' ■ Colonel '
William Tilden Pelton, made notorious by
his connection ; with i the - cipher frauds.
There _is . very little - : doubt that Pelton's
death was hastened, if not directly caused, j
by the treatment he received at the hands
of his uncle, who .may _ well, be charged
with < the grossest ingratitude. As every
body knows, Pelton was made the . scape
goat for Tilden's sins. When it was discov
ered that the Reformer , had been trying to
buy electoral votes and ; Returning Boards
through his j nephew, acting as his confi
dential % agent, the ;. latter , ;; took \ all 7 the
blame upon himself, fully exculpating his
kinsman. ■_ He ; acted as .generously,; as _ a
man could in a very dishonest cause ; but
he could not, of course, prevent the public
from seeing _ the I truth— that the - really
guilty person was his avuncular employer.
He certainly deserved well at the hands of
Tilden, who, however,' felt deeply aggrieved
at Pelton, not for his corruptness and gen
eral political ; rascality, but for his expos
ure. The.' reformer does not care ' much
what kind of '*•-;.-'.
TRICKERY AND BRIBERY
He resorts to provided he be not found
out.;. He could not forgive his nephew for
the crime of being found out. He did not
deal openly with him ; but. he showed his
resentment in many ways. ' He turned him
out of his house, where he had long had a
home— he may : have . been impelled to do
this for outward'; effect— and completely
altered his demeanor^ toward him. "... This
alteration Pelton, who was really much at
tached to his uncle, felt so deeply that it
injured his health, not very strong at best,
and. finally carried him oft". \ He may justly
be : considered ';: a; . victim of ingratitude.
Tilden is extremely shrewd— he has dem
onstrated' his shrewdness ever since he
became prominent in politics but nobody
has ever : accused him .of possessing an
ounce of heart.' He • is, and has ) always
been selfish, through and through ; he does
not own any downright humanity;, he is
the last man whom anybody would trust in
an emergency." <He has no genuine friends,
nor does he deserve I any. His treatment
of Pelton is a sample of his nature, and a
sample that very few persons,' even those
equally mean, would accept. In all NeW
York, I question if a more selfish old man,
an old man more intent on his own ends to
the exclusion of everybody and everything
else, can be . unearthed. The . sordidness,
the narrow egotism of Samuel J. Tilden is
generally understood, and the Democracy
was wise, if they have the least desire to
succeed, •in throwing him overboard at
Cincinnati. ■".'.'•'."."-.
THE . OLD TRIBUNE ASSOCIATION.
The recent death of George Ripley re
moves the last member of the old Tribune
Association, except Thomas V. Hooker, for
years foreman of the composing-room, and
now cashier of the establishment. The
only writer for the paper who was an early
associate of Horace Greeley is Charles P.
Congdon. All the other writers, including
Wbitelaw Reid, John jR. G. Hassard,
William Winter and Clarence Cook,' have
gone on the Tribune since the war , ended.
The journal was thirty-nine yeara old i;-st
year. Ripley had been connected with it
thirty-one years. ■'"■. No present member cf
the staff since | Congdon has been in the
office over thirteen or fourteen years at
longest, and most of the members
have not . been . there beyond . six -or |
eight years. The men who made the Trib
une famous under Greeley arc either dead
or in new walks. William ". Henry Fry,
the brilliant musical critic, | and author of
" Leonora," one of the very few successful
native operas, has long been dead. Richard
Hildretb, historian the United States,
breathed his | list in Florence at the close
of the civil strife. ' Count Adam Gur
owski, the eccentric Pole, who had a most
dramatic career, abroad, slipped into his
grave in Washington. C. G. Foster, once
city editor, and author of a f series of.
sketches,;" New York in Slices," went to
the bad ; married an adventuress, Mme.
Margeruites ; forged the name of Wm. E.
Burton, comedian ; was thrown into prison
and committed suicide there. John Cleve
land, financial " editor, aud maker of the
"Tribune Almanac," is .
IN HIS NARROW HOME ; XX-
George Snow and S. . T. Clark, also finan
cial editors, are in theirs. Chas. A. Dana
has made a fortune out of the Sun; Isaac
W. England, formerly ■of the Tribune, has
prospered as the publisher of the former
paper. Edward H. Howe, quondam musi
cal critic, lives in Japan, and is proprietor
of the Tokio Times; George ■W. Cuitis,
who was an ancient - Tribune, is perma
nently with the Harpers.; Edmund C.
Stedman is now a stock- broker, and yet a
dabbler in ink ; ; Franklin J. Ottorson is
drifting around on the journalistic sea ;
Charles E. . Wilborn got into the Tammany
ring ; secured wealth, and finds -it con
venient to remain abroad; James McEl
wrath, Greeley's old partner, has been for
years in other pursuits ; I Sydney Howard
Gay, out of , journalism, is writing Bry
ant's History of the United States ; Samuel
Sinclair, for many, years publisher of the
Tribune, ruined ; himself with a country
seat, and jis now . cheerfully earning his
bread by a salaried position in the Custom
house. What diverse fortunes have at

GEOROE RIPLEY.
- It is said that ft collection of George
Ripley's writings will soon be made,' and
issued in two ; octavo volumes. He was a
ripe scholar, an original , thinker, a fine
stylist. ; He had led a literary life from
the beginning. : ; He ; had ' : been « more than
thirty years a reviewer of ! books ; never- j
theless, he had, oddly, enough, never made ;
a book of his own, the small controversial j
volumes, produced :. while ; he - was i a Uni
tarian clergyman, hardly i counting as ex
ceptions. .• It is . doubtful if 1 another such
instance could be mentioned either here or
in I Europe, i Ripley, who was continually
writing, never put any entire work of his j
own between covers. Hewasfond of authors,
but he disliked mere book-makers, and was
determined not to be thought one of them
himself. 'Xr He would ; not properly J have
come under the head, for though he worked
for a daily newspaper,' he : worked with as
much care and ' conscientiousness as if jhe
had been consigning every word to poster
ity. His many admirers would like a lit
erary memorial of - the eminent and genial
critic, and it should by all means ; be fur
nished. *
JANITORS' FAMILIES.; ;;
It is generally thought that lower Broad
way is deserted in the evening, as all the
offices and stores are closed in ; the after
noon, and I the quarter relinquished \to
quietude and occasional pedestrians. -rp But
since the very hot weather has set in, it is j
found to be quite full after dark of men, j
women and children, who crowd about the
main '"■ entrances g and 'ft; flow,;,' over y. the
sidewalks. Who -: are these ;; people?
Whence came they? They are the
janitors of the J buildings and \ their ' nu
merous families, including their | relatives,
friends and visiting [ acquaintances. > ; They
are in ordinary, seasons . within, doors, ; and
therefore invisible | to I the passer-by. '■-'& But
daring this torrid weather they go into the
street for .a ; little fresh air and show their
parental fertility] to advantage. It is sur- |
prising how large a progeny janitors beget.
Some of them have as many as nine or ten,"
even i twelve I children, with only a year
or a ear and '-ai'i half between them ; the
average 1 number , seeming \to be j seven ;or
eight to the couple. Then they have in
their household many country cousins, who
come <to | town f in I summer to spend a few
days or weeks. Moreover, their acquaint
ances j from | the whole neighborhood, in
cluding j Brooklyn, Jersey < City,"} Hoboken
and .Weehawken^ visit them at this season. 1
Consequently, lower Broadway, especially
i south of Canal street, 1 presents a; most pop
ulcus . appearance between ' sunset and ]II
: o'clock. A reporter of a morning newspaper
recently counted J in ; at single 1 short | block
335 adults - and minors \ airing . themselves'
I in front of buildings where ; nobody is sup
i posed to live. If the enumerators failed in
I the late census to 1 take t the J janitors I and
-. their families and it is quite probable that
: they did they ; have i made a very import
! ant omission, and j one, that would j materi
i ally swell the aggregate, ii The size of jani
| torial / families _; is ■ of 7 politico-economical
| interest. S- Why J are ; they J so S large? Do
' janitors despise Malthas ? 7; They.probably
i do,' since they are Usually foreigners, uned
ucated and without vivid sense of responsi
bility. ' - Bat ? their contempt \ for ; Malthus
will not solve the problem.;.;;. They have far
more children than other people of their
grade.; in i like circumstances. Is fertility
increased by living under a roof," by sweep
ing, dusting, scrubbing, by dull routine,"
by -' : freedom from thought, jby gregarious
habits ? The '■• question is worth examina
tion. When shall we have |an exhaustive
essay in the North i American or Popular
Science 'i Monthly ,X entitled _ ;_ " The ; Reason
why Janitors Swell the Census ? "
■_■";.'-'- : ' ,-, VARIETIES. ; : _ : .. : ; ..-'■;
Speaking of the census reminds me of
the wonderful growth of this country, and
measurably of the whole globe, as evinced
by the I new edition; of Lippincott's " Gaz
etteer of the i World." The new edition,
wholly another work from the old edition,
contains notices lof more : than 125, GOO
places, and furnishes a fund of geographical
information contained in no other single
volume. That an entirely new Gazetteer
should be required in ten years— the latest
previous edition was dated. 1870— proves
the world's very rapid advancement in the
march of progress. ;; If an American wishes
to be acquainted with the great Republic
of to-day he must introduce himself to the
new Lippincott's Gazetteer.
; | Some of the newspapers here are badger
ing Henry Ward Beecher on - his want of
orthodoxy.; He is undoubtedly as ortho
dox as any man of intellect and progress
can.be, : in the midst of the present revela
tions of reason : and science. .If all clergy
men in orthodox pulpits were as outspoken
as Beecher is, we should hear of far more
heresy in the pulpit even than we now do.
The appointment by Harper & Brothers
of an agent (R. B. Bowker) in London for
the sale |of their publications, shows the
foothold that Anierioan j literature is gain
ing in Europe." Scribuer & Co. have for
some time issued their magazine in London,
having a branch there of their New York
hou=e.
.The exodus to the Old World continues
undiminished, although it had been thought
that it would greatly decline after the close
of June. It is supposed that this year will
exceed all previous years for American
travel abroad.
The number of shops and enterprises of
every kind which are continually begin
ning and ending here is very striking to a
New Yorker. . It is estimated that the
losses by such failures amount on an aver
age to fully $5,000,000 a year, and I imag
ine the estimate to be rather below than
above the fact.
The weather here does not improveim
provement meaning, of course, reduced
temperature and oppressiveness. The
temperature 'is not so very high, but the
atmosphere, even at SO', seems : lifeless.
The : city has rarely suffered more than it
has this summer. Chacbert.

San Francisco, July 20, 1880."
. Looking down the street was a glare of
red, and * then" I ; heard the '■-■ swish 'of - a
rocket cleaving the air. ? It was the French
Fourth of ; July, and all j day ; there had
been Hags," (lowers ■; and rejoicings : there
had ; been ■ orations, and processions, and
cheers ; there had been Miss Ellen Coursen
as • the ; Goddess of Liberty, '. singing the
Star-Spangled ; Banner ; there had been
Mme.";, Zeiss- Dennis, very large, very
blonde, .; very ; sweet .of voice, chanting
the Marseillaise. .; Now here at Wood
ward's Garden's •":'. was the - .'close
of , the ; festivities. . Some time before
R. B. Woodward died there was a rumor
that his public garden, the pride of his
heart, was to be removed beyond the city.
" I do not know what my heirs may do,"
said , he, ; " but never while I live !'' A
great many outside San Francisco know ;
that these gardens are a lovely place, but
it is given us alone to know how beautiful
they are by night. : Last Wednesday night
a crowd surged and beat against its gates
and Johnny Crapean was abroad. I Twenty
cars, blocked, stood in line, and what with
the horses and the ; voices and the music
there was confusion indeed. -A man, up
raised upon a platform, sold tickets like
hot cakes to the multitude, and I sheltered
behind < a trio of policemen " to ' avoid
the rough jostle about me. . I thought,
as I entered the gates, I. never before
had seen so pretty a sight.' : Colored lights
swung in rows across the buildings, aud
everywhere was "Liberty, Fraternity,
Equality," and flags of France and America
lovingly side by side. Under the green of
the trees and ajong the terraces swung a
thousand Japanese lanterns, and I from the
mast of the rotary .boat to the sides there
were lines of them swaying to and fro, as
the boat ; went slowly round. The walks
were
CROWDED WITH TEOrLK,
Strolling leisurely under the dark shade or
in the dim light, and murmuring . to ; each
other in French. The fountain which plays
from a pile of rocks flung its graceful spray
into the night, every crystal drop outlined
against the strong rays of the re
flector . placed • behind it. The am
phitheater was one mass of pushing
and scrambling, elbowing humanity, all
resolved into an _ exclamation ' point 'at the
exhibition of fireworks constantly taking
place.' Young men in gay uniform whizzed
by with French and snapping-eyed Susan
Nippers : upon their . arms, and children
were as frequent as at a pantomime.
Whatever folly or vice the foreigner may
possess, -he loves 'his children ; he never
shirks them, as American fathers are prone
to do, when it comes to amusements ; there
were the ; little French children patient
ly and uncomplainingly carried or led
by the hand, talked to and brought into
notice as I never fail to notice they aro
among our foreign peoples always. I had
taken my Fat quelle under my elbow, but I
had no need of it .to help me as to the
meaning of the bow and word of apology
which followed the inadvertent push
in ■ the crowd. Rockets shot con
tinually toward the heavens, and, inflated
with patriotism, burst midway with a sob
of enthusiasm into a shower of quivering,
golden tears, that fell down, down, gently
down,' as if too precious to be lost at once.
Upon its path followed another, and burst
into a rain of vivid drops so bright it
seemed as though a shattered rainbow had
sprung into tbe night sky. All the time in
the summer-house the band played softly,
and near it in the half light I came upon
THE LOVELIEST FACE, '
That flashed upon me for an instant, and
was gone among the trees. _. I only remem
ber the smile it wore, and its gypsy hat
tied under its something that told of
sparkling, eyes and , hair falling over the
forehead. . Within the saloon there was a
confusion of converse and a tinkle of
glasses, for every one was drinking beer,
and the floor of the pavilion was already
thronged in anticipation of the de
lights of the : coming dance. On the
verandahs outside and upon the stairways
was the restless tramp, tramp of feet and
bewildering quantities of people. The
time for the. coup d'etat, the exciting mo
ment," the ■ masterly wind up, the final
glare approached, and a little man in front
of me was politely gesticulating and.in
sisting that I should accept his place and
get a good view. It was the Tittle old
Frenchmen whom I see always at operas,
and who always appreciates, the best parts.
His small, black eyes gleamed with July
14th in their depths, and his gray beard
bristled like guns upon the Bastile. There
was a moment of hushed expectation and
then one awe-stricken " Ah — h — h !" burst
from us all as ' the fiery frame stood out
against the dark. "Vive la Republique "it
said, "1789—1880." "Ah, yes,"shouted the
little man, " Veev la Republeek !" Then the
band began the ; Marseillaise, and every
throat took it .up softly till a hum ran
through the trees, and catching the fire of
enthusiasm myself I looked about me to
assure myself that this was really Wood
ward's Gardens, America. On Sunday I
stood among a very different people, in the
crowded vcstibnle of a church. A blind
man made his way slowly toward the door,
making way carefully among | millionaires'
coats and their wives' and daughters' silks.
He was the only poor man in sight ; -every
other was sleek, well-fed, smiling, well
dressed,; and as each woman bowed and
chatted she seemed . to pass the other in
review. : It was an ; after-church sociable,
an '■ after- ftie-sermon hand-shaking, and a
comparing of notes, too, if you please, be
gun, continued and done in ten minutes.
Then some stepped .' into their carriages,
and some tripped daintily down the street.
When church I folks take coachmen and
horses to church on 'Sunday, how in their
own minds do they
GET ROUND THAT COMMANDMENT
Which says you mustn't let your servants
and cattlo work ?,.-' One of the stanch old
Scotchmen in this very church stands by
his principles so sturdily.-, that he won't
ride in the street cars on Sunday, but walks
way into service from ever so far. .' I don't
know bis views _ on ; the subject of cable
cars. This congregation in the vestibule
were saying good ; morning . and talking
about r the > strange minister — Rev. :- Dr.
Goodell of St. Louis, who is now out here
on 'a \ vacation and - has ' consented to ; fill
Rev. '■: Dr. Stone's vacant " pulpit • for ; six
Sabbaths ;to come. 'The vestibule wore a
critical ip. and ; raised '■') eyebrow " air, "X and
was ton ' the whole . well - pleased. ■ Dr.
Goodell ; is V; a> light fof J the -. ministry
which .5 burns * with ; a ;• clear . and " steady
brilliancy in the West. He wears a white
<< weskit," and what always comes homo
to me as a kind ' expression. Half a dozen
men in San Francisco, not more; wear the
same kindly look. -I always feel like ex
tending the hand of fellowship to greet the
face that bears it.' His sermon was perhaps
slightly above the ordinary, and too long.
Rev. Dr. Guard is the only preacher who
ought to dare long sermons here, and even
he did not always fill his pews, despite his
eloquence. - But "long prayer "ot Dr.'
Goodell \ was a marvel ' of simplicity 7 and
beauty— not a big word in it, no unctions,"
high-sounding . sentiments ; rolling off the
tongue, but just a petition pur semple —
almost a mode! for a prayer, if i one ought
to take models for prayer. -'-• . . ; .-. y".

of which had eleven rattles on. . He says
that rattlesnakes are more numerous this

is not very safe to travel in the woods
while they are so thick, as a person is lia

is, in such a locality as the above men

The population of forty counties in Cali

in 1870, showing a gain of 267.653, or over
tifty-four per cent. According to these
returns, if the per cent, of increase holds
out in the remaining twelve counties yet to
be heard from, the - population of Califor
nia will number 862,780, or a gain of 302,
--533 since 1870. The largest percentage of
gain is 1,240 in Mono. Only two coun
ties—Alpine and Tuolumne show a de

It ■is rumored at Grantsville, says the
Austin (Nev.) Reveille, that a company • of

one thousand feet in depth on a series of
locations recently made, adjoining the Al
ameda, in the mountain west of the town
of Grantsville. The enterprise is in the
hands of men who have had large experi
ence on the Comstock, and if i carried out,
as reported, means mining in a systematic
manner. It is claimed that machinery has
been shipped from San Francisco for the
new shaft indicated above.
